Is it a fine or medium point?

This Parker that I have is a medium point and it writes great. I have used fountain pens for a long time, stopped when I retired and have returned to them when I took up writing for pleasure. This is my go to pen. I have not experienced the problem of hard starting after lay off of several days. However, I use quality ink (Parker's Quink brand) and the Parker cartridges. I love the heft and feel of this recent Parker. It just feels perfect in my hand. Good luck!

The original was a medium nib, but I changed it to a fine nib. I think the fine nib does a better job. The medium spread the ink and the fine point produced a finer line.

It's a medium point. I have two of them but don't use them. They are hard to start the ink flowing after even an hour or two sitting unused and skip until you work at it to get the ink flowing properly. I've been quite disappointed in them. Other than how they write, I like them a lot: the look and feel of the pen is very nice.

Not really, I think it's personal preference. For me the medium size tips were the best since they were nice and snug. My girlfriend had to use the small ones since that's what felt comfortable for her.

It's "m"-- medium, more like fine/med. It's subjective. Definately not bold. Tom.

No they are not quite comparable. The medium point is the size of a worn down sharpie, and the fine is similar to a the thin line made when lightly pressing a fresh marker sharpie. Neither one is as fine as a hard tip fine point sharpie. Hope this helps.

Medium point. I believe, but I may have swapped out the original with a medium. Check waterman's site.

I assume Medium as in not narrow nor wide. I really cannot be sure, that is just my guess.

I bought some of this in Jan 2012 and it was definitely fine grade. Maybe fine/medium. It looked and felt like sand pretty much. Definitely not course.

As far as I know. I am not too concerned about how fine the point is...It is just right for me. Plus, they last a long, long time.

I'd go with medium if I were you. The low might cause contact to be made, and the high will just be too high.

Medium and fine point. These are the only pens I use in college, Very smooth writing.

"fine"tip is not fine enough.If you'd like really fine, probably extra-fine is more suitable

Mark, this nib appears to be a medium point. It produces a beautiful smooth line without grabbing or scratching. I purchased this pen for my wife who loves fountain pens, and she loves this one. It is one of the most beautiful and unique pens I have ever seen. I would not hesitate to to buy another.

That would be a personal selection. If you use the cue for a all around play then you would want a medium hard or hard tip, if only for game play, a medium to medium soft. I would only use a medium tip for my game as I use a breaking cue.

Have used this pen and refills for many years for its smooth, fine, and precise writing. Was not aware the "Technical Details" says it's a medium point.

The box describes it as Fine, not extra fine, but in my experience it writes with a very fine line. Very nice pen.

I would have to say in between. I, myself, prefer a medium and was rather pleased with these heads. Finding anything other than 'Fine' bristles (DDS preferred & recommended) has become a daunting task.

If you are using the paper filters you can use the Fine setting set in the middle. If you are using a reusable basket filer it would be medium
